UF ignores



union ruling

By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org

UF remains the only state institution not to
acknowledge the faculty union United Faculty
of Florida after a July 28 Florida Supreme Court
ruling.
Union representatives believe the ruling
confirms what they've been arguing for several
years: The university is obligated to recognize
their union.
"It's time for the University of Florida to fol-
low the law," said Tom Auxter, statewide presi-
dent of the faculty union.
"The University of Florida has always
maintained that it is different from
the other institutions."
Pam Bernard
UF general counsel


But the university administration is waiting
for a state mandate before it acts, saying that UF
stands apart from the other state universities that
have begun bargaining with the union.
"The University of Florida has always main-
tained that it is different from the other institu-
tions," said Pam Bernard, vice president and
general counsel for UF.
UF is a member of the Association of American
Universities, an elite group of research-intensive
institutions that includes Yale, Harvard and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Bernard
said AAU schools traditionally have stronger
systems of faculty governance, which may limit
the need for a union.
The faculty union had a relationship with
every state university's administration from 1976
until 2001, when the statewide higher-education
governing body, the Board of Regents, was dis-
solved and the universities' individual boards of
trustees were established.
With this restructuring of the State University
System, most campuses stopped honoring the
union's contract, as it had dealt with the Board
of Regents.
In Fall 2002, 72 percent of the faculty in UF's
nonprofessional colleges signed union cards in

Machen addresses UF's condition


By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org

UF President Bernie Machen made it clear his fight against
binge drinking has just begun in his annual State of the
University Address on Thursday.

Grand Ballroom on Thursday afternoon after his State
nf +h= I ln:..u:i.. nrirlrac


While some critics have laughed off his attempts to mod-
erate drinking, Machen won't back down, he told a crowd of
about 200.
"This is a secret that we don't like to talk about, but it is a
deadly problem," he said.
But the president has other concerns for the student body
besides drinking.
As admissions figures show, fewer black freshmen have
registered at UF this year. Machen announced a scholarship
program he said hopefully would bring more minority and
underprivileged students to the state's flagship institution.
The Florida Opportunity Scholarships will be aimed at
students who have economic need and are the first in their
families to attend a four-year college or university, he said.
The program will receive $1 million in startup money from
the university. Machen said he expects to raise private funds to
support it as well, adding in a later interview that he predicts
huge alumni interest in donating to the scholarships.
"I think that'll get us started," he said.
This year's freshman class includes about 60 fewer black
students than last year, a drop of about 8 percent. That's about
the same drop that other universities around the state have
experienced.
Many underprivileged students
UF come from families that traditionally
Administration fear going into debt, Machen said.
Though many of the targeted
students would qualify for the Bright Futures Scholarship,
that award only covers tuition. The Opportunity
Scholarships would help pay the estimated $12,000 a year
students spend for living costs to keep them from going
into debt, he said.
That way, students who otherwise would attend col-
lege while living at home to cut costs can afford to come to
Gainesville for a top-notch education.
"We want them at the University of Florida," Machen said.
The president said he didn't know how many students
might take advantage of the program or how much it would
cost. But money is not a factor, he said.
"I hope it costs a lot," he said, because that means students
would be taking advantage of it.
The Student Financial Aid Office will handle the program,
which Machen said he hopes to promote to students as young
as high school sophomores to make sure they include UF in
their college search.

No towels yet at rec centers


STHE GATOR PARTY PROM-
I ISED IN THE SPRING TO BUY
TOWELS FOR STUDENT USE.

By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

A Student Government promise
to provide towels at the Southwest
Recreation Center is in limbo after
discovering the future closing of
i. Campus Laundry Services.
The Gator Party campaigned
in the Spring 2005 election to
spend about $25,000 of student-
funded money from SG reserves
| for 15,000 towels at Southwest
Recreation Center.
The plan was for students to be
able to use the provided towels at
the gym and have them washed
on campus.
But the plan has yet to mate-
rialize.
"It's going to be done," Student
Body President Joe Goldberg said.
"We made a promise to students.
It's not a hard thing. We're going


to deliver on our promise."
Students are required to bring
towels to use the strength and car-
dio rooms at UF gyms.
Goldberg said many students
have stopped him on campus and
asked him, "Where's my towel?"
An unexpected roadblock
Goldberg said he ran into this
summer was learning that Campus
Laundry Services, located near the
Physical Plant,
SUdent is about to
Government close. Therefore,
Goldberg and
his team need
to find a new place to wash all the
promised towels.
He said that while he was cam-
paigning, he was not up to date
on plans to cancel the laundry
service.
"I was running for office at
the time," he said. "It's not a big
deal."
A facility manager at the
center, Valerie Wideroff, said the
estimated $25,000 towel cost is
unwarranted.
"I really don't think there is a


need," she said. "I haven't seen
that many complaints."
But Director of Recreational
Sports David Bowles said it could
be helpful to provide towels be-
cause there is the occasional stu-
dent who forgets to bring one.
Goldberg said there are up to
60,000 visits to the cardio and
strength rooms in peak months.
Director of UF Business Services
Jim Morgan said news of the clos-
ing came in December because
Shands at UF decided to expand.
If Laundry Services wanted to
stay alive, it would cost $5 million
to expand the building a growth
that was "not economically fea-
sible," Morgan said.
Morgan said UF is in the pro-
cess of drafting a lucrative con-
tract with a replacement laundry
service in Clermont.
"We'll still arrange for op-
tions," he said, of allowing SG to
enter the spin. "That shouldn't be
an issue at all."
Goldberg said a bill about the
towels would be presented to the
Student Senate on Sept. 6.

O'Dome convention caps UF's hectic first week


* UP TO 7,500 JEHOVAH'S
WITNESSES WILL BE ON
CAMPUS THIS WEEKEND.

By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Staff Writer
nhughes@alligator.org
The second Jehovah's Witnesses
convention to hit Gainesville in less
than two months may cause prob-
lems for an already jam-packed
campus today and Saturday.
As many as 7,500 are expected to
attend this weekend's convention


at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center,
which happens to coincide with the
first week of Fall classes.
Lionel Dubay, the building's di-
rector, said the event is expected to
cause major traffic .concerns, as the
O'Connell Center has never hosted
an event this large during an after-
noon in the first week of classes.
Friday is anticipated to be the
most problematic because the event
runs during the same hours many
students have classes from 9:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and as many
as 6,500 visitors will be on campus,
with 1,000 more coming Saturday.


Dubay stressed that the fi-
nancial benefit to the community
outweighs the hassle drivers may
experience for the weekend.
"We had one of these conventions
back over the July 4 weekend which
generated $2.2 million
On to the local commu-
Campus nity," he said.
The O'Connell
Center is expected to host similar
events for the Jehovah's Witnesses
for the next four years, with three
or four conventions each summer,
which, according to Dubay, could
generate between $40 and $50 mil-


lion for the area.
"I'm confident that people will
understand that this does have a
real positive financial impact to the
local community, which, in turn, is
positive to the university," he said.
"There's a lot of part-time positions
out there where students are work-
ing, and those dollars are being
generated out there."
Dubay said future conventions
will not be held during the first
week of Fall classes.
"The impact obviously would
not be as critical as it is right now,"
he said.


A number of buses, including
eight from the Gainesville Regional
Transit System, are being commis-
sioned to attempt to keep auto traffic
to a minimum during the worship-
pers' stay in Gainesville.
In addition, the Gainesville and
University Police departments will
patrol "critical intersections" on
campus, Dubay said.
Dubay advised students to steer
clear of the major roads'and intersec-
tions around the O'Connell Center
to avoid traffic specifically, Gale
Lemerand Drive, Stadium Road and
University Avenue.

UF laundry product speeds drying
By CRYSTAL HENRYm
chenry@alligator.org


As Gainesville Regional Utilities awaits approval from
the City Commission to raise electric, water and wastewa-
ter rates in October; UF researchers have developed a prod-
uct that could help abate the rising costs.
UF Center for Surface Science and Engineering Director
Dinesh Shah and chemical engineering doctoral student
Daniel Carter formulated a compound that, when added
to a load of laundry, makes clothing shed 20 percent more
water during the spin cycle, according to a university press
release.
"We feel it's very cost-effective research and
convenient for consumers."
Dinesh Shah
UF Center for Surface Science and Engineering director

Since the clothes take less time to dry, households will
use less electricity.
"We feel it's very cost-effective research and convenient
for consumers," Shah said.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Web site states that if
a dryer is used for one hour each day, homeowners spend
from $657 to $1,825 each year on the electricity for the dryer
alone, making it one of the highest-draining appliances in
the home.
After experimenting first with a centrifuge, then a real
washer and dryer, the researchers found that five parts of
a common detergent and one part fabric softener added
before the spin cycle forced the clothes to shed 20 percent
more water than untreated clothes.
Carter and Shah said consumers could reduce drying
time by more than 10 percent, saving a total of $266 million
annually, with the water-shedding compound.
The key to the research, Carter said in the release, was
that the spaces between the fibers in fabrics make small
tubes that hold in water with surface tension.
It's the same reason a submerged straw will hold water
when covered at the other end and lifted out of the sur-
face.
By reducing surface tension, the fabric retained less wa-

ter and therefore dried faster.
UF has applied for a patent on the research, which was
funded by $ ,000 from Procter & Gamble.

Students discover all UPD has to offer at open house


Luanne Dietz/ Alligator
Officer Darren Sanders assists students at the University Police Department open house Thursday after-
noon. Students can register their bicycles with the UPD to aid in recovery in case of theft.


* UPD PROVIDED HELPFUL
INFORMATION AND PIZZA.

By KIMBERLY GOUZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

Thomas Vermeer did not want
to have the same campus traffic
ticket troubles as his friends.
After his friend received a
$74.50 ticket from the University
Police Department for lacking
head and taillights on a bicycle,
Vermeer avoided potential head-
ache by buying some for his bike.
"I had about three friends who
received tickets last semester,"
Vermeer said. "It's the little things
that [UPD] catch you on."
Vermeer, a third-year electri-
cal engineering major, was one
of about 500 students who at-
tended the UPD open house on
Thursday.
Police answered questions
about bicycle and alcohol laws,
Student Nighttime Auxiliary
Patrol, violence in the workplace
and its free self-defense education
classes for women.
"The main focus of the agency
is to provide service to the stu-


dents," UPD Capt. Jeff Holcomb
said.
Students, lured to the event by
free pizza, were able to register
their bicycles with UPD, sign up
for upcoming self-defense classes
and enter drawings for Gators T-
shirts, hats and other prizes.
Lindsay Fernandez, who heard
about the self-defense classes
from a police officerat Preview,
signed up for the next
Public class.
Safety "I decided to regis-
ter because it is scary
to walk alone at night, and I want
to be able to kick some butt if I
have to," she said.
The Rape Aggression Defense
(RAD) courses are taught by UPD
officers who sometimes dress in
padded aggressor suits to teach
defense.
"Anyone who believes that
women are powerless against
men should dress up in one of the
aggressor suits and take a beat-
ing," UPD Officer Darren Sanders
said. f
To sign up for a class or learn
more about UPD's services, stu-
dents can call (352) 392-1409.

We here at the Department of Darts & Laurels are proud

After all, we get to insult and ridicule those members of

tap that wondrous keg of cynicism as we head into this
week's edition of...



Darts & Laurels

We'll start off by asking our own sniper to take aim and
shoot a just-cut-out-your-tongue-and-settle-down DART at
Rev. Pat Robertson for telling his followers that the United
States should kill Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez be-
cause "it's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."
We think the reverend needs to check his phone connec-
tion to the Almighty, or soon he might find himself at the
wrong end of the immortal spectrum.
But our real beef is with the media for even reporting this
drivel. Do we want to know when every crazy TV preacher
weighs in on international issues? God no. Pun intended.
Instead of focusing on how the government will really
deal with the problem, newspapers have published count-
less stories on one uninformed and off-handed comment.
And we're a little worried that the government even both-
ered to issue a response against Robertson's idea.
Did the leaders of the free world actually consider taking
advice from a man who organizes prayer sessions to solve
political problems? If so, we at the Department of Darts &
Laurels suddenly are feeling very unsafe.
But Robertson isn't the only nut job who's been in the
news this week. We also throw a somebody-needs-a-nap-
and-an-injection-of-self-esteem DART to the woman who
filed i complaint with the state of New York against her
doctor because he hurt her feelings. Dr. Jerry Bennett told
the anonymous woman she was obese and needed to lose
weight before it killed her.
Whoa. Are people now using the government as their
personal therapist? We hate to think of our tax dollars being
used to soothe a typically obese American. That is, if we
actually paid our taxes.
Which brings us to our next victim. We softly toss a drop-
the-fries-and-eat-just-one-peanut DART to Americans. A
recent report showed that almost every state's obese popu-
lation has increased since last year. Nationwide, obesity
plagues 22.7 percent of Americans.
Stop. Eating. We mean it.
In the spirit of our newfound diet, we spill a more-sugar-
doesn't-mean-we'll-be-awake-during-class DART on to- UF
administration for signing a contract with Pepsi and limiting
most of the vending machines to 20-ounce plastic bottles. Not
only is Pepsi evil, now we have to pay a whole dollar for our
beverages, instead of the 60-cent price tag on 12-ounce cans.
We could have used that dollar to buy something from
the McDonald's value menu.
Lastly, just so you don't think the Department of Darts
& Laurels is made up of cranky old men, we drape a
thank-god-you-finally-figured-out-how-to-use-computers
LAUREL on the GatorMail staff for allowing students to
forward a copy of their UF-account e-mails to other e-mail
providers. Originally, administrators insisted students
would have to completely stop forwarding the e-mails
because of problems with Yahoo! and AOL. Now, they only
have to make sure a copy is saved in the original account.
We were really dreading the extra exercise we'd have to
exert if forced to check another e-mail account.

Brand-new UF slogan needs update


after years of sacrifice and hard work, UF is well on
its way to achieving the goal we've all been push-
ing so hard for: becoming one of the Top 10 public
research institutions in the country. *'
Lately, however, it's become clear that one aspect of
the university isn't living up to the high standards re-
quired to reach that position.
Call me crazy, but I think our official slogan has be-
come dated.
Don't get me wrong: There's no doubt that "the foun-
dation for The Gator Nation" has served us well.
During the motto's three-day tour of duty, UF's status
as ground zero for everything related to Gator sports has
been proven beyond all doubt.
Similarly, everyone who previously believed that Bud
Light, in fact, was the foundation for The Gator Nation,
has been reminded duly that the university itself holds
that honor.
In our quest for U.S. News & World Report glory,
however, I don't think the slogan gets across the message
we need to send.
The hard fact is public university ranking experts
these days don't care as much as they once did about
a university's ranking in the hierarchy of The Gator
Nation.
I think it's telling that not a single Top 10 public uni-
versity makes any reference whatsoever to The Gator
Nation in its slogan.
It's time we finally found the phrase that truly can
sum up everything you need to know about our univer-
sity in 15 words or fewer.
But this time we won't be able to hire another mar-
keting firm to come up with a new slogan for us, as the
$85,000 we spent last time used up our budget allowance
for MBEs (miscellaneous branding expenses).


One option would be to recycle
one of the many inspirational
phrases that have occupied the
position of chief UP motto before.
After only a six-month run,
"An unparalleled university
Matt Sanchez experience that lasts a lifetime"
Pure Foppery still has some fight left in it ex-
msanchez@alligator.org cept that everyone now is hip to
the fact it doesn't actually mean
anything.
Or there's always the old
standby "Gator football... you pretty much have to."
But this seems redundant with morale already riding
so high after the ascension of Pope Urban Meyer to UF's
highest appointed office.
So maybe the old slogans were retired for a reason. It's
hard to imagine a revival of the original, from back in the
days when UF and FSU were the only choices: "UF: Because
you don't want to go to the all-girls school, do you?"
Unfortunately, the administration likely won't be
much help either.
After spending a couple of years on the job, the best
President Machen has been able to come up. with has
been the probably still-too-optimistic "UF: Definitely no
booze here."
So, where can we find a slogan that represents both
the essence of UF now and the high aspirations we have
for the future?
Maybe we should try being honest play to our
strengths while not turning people off by sugarcoating
things.
In that vein, my personal recommendation is "UF:
Cheap and good. Plus you get to beat on the 'Noles."
After all, that's pretty much the answer the average
UF student would give for why they came here anyway.
Matt Sanchez is a journalism senior.


The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

Do you think UF's new slogan is
appropriate?

Letters to the Editor
Israel disengagement motives not peace-oriented
While Israeli settlers have faced "boxes, bubble wrap
and masking tape" in their disengagement from the Gaza
Strip, the Palestinians have faced barbed wire, bullets and
barricades over three decades of occupation.
Since the blood of innocent civilians on both sides began
to flow on the streets in the latest conflict, a vast majority
of citizens within Israel favored withdrawal to assist in the
peace process. To assume that Ariel Sharon shares these
same intentions would be naive. The leader's motives for
withdrawal are to save the resources that were spent on
settlers who make up 0.7 percent of the population of the
Gaza Strip but owned around 33 percent of the land.
Instead of exhausting funds on a futile cause, Sharon
has decided to re-allocate these resources to expand settle-
ments within the West Bank. Based on recent develop-
ments, the disengagement shouldn't be perceived as a step
toward peace, but rather a perfunctory measure to con-
serve funds and to satisfy the international community.
The essential matter at hand, and a major obstacle to
peace, is the illegal presence of 380,000 settlers in the West
Bank. Not until Israel gets serious about discussing with-
drawal from the West Bank will the Palestinian Authority
get serious about bringing security to the state of Israel.

University wants full faculty vote


UNION, from page 1

favor of union representation.
This majority was higher than any
other state school's, union member Candi
Churchill said.
The same year, most Florida universi-
ties voluntarily recognized the union as a
bargaining group. When FSU 'and UWF
refused to, the union took them to court.
That case ultimately resulted in July's
Supreme Court ruling.
Associate Provost Joe Glover said the
university is waiting for a state labor agen-
cy, the Florida Public Employees Relations
Commission, to interpret the court ruling.
In a recommendation issued July 14,
two weeks before the ruling, the commis-
sion stated it would validate the union's
old contract if it determines there is "sub-
stantial continu-
U F ity in the employ-
Administration ing enterprise."
In the past,
university of-
ficials have maintained that the Board of
Regents' dissolution caused a break in
continuity, and therefore UFF did not need
to be recognized.
The court ruling makes the precedent-
setting statement that FSU and UWF are
"successor employers" to the Board of
Education, which temporarily replaced
the Board of Regents. Union advocates say
UF's legal situation is the same as that of
FSU and UWF, so the decision should ap-
ply to UF as well.
Todd Reynolds, who works dcloselywith
UFF as president of Graduate Assistants
United, said UF's active resistance of the
union is "just wasting money."
"It's basically costing the University
of Florida millions of dollars when they
-could just be recognizing the union," he
said, adding that students should be frus-
trated with UF for throwing away their
money.
Reynolds' union was recognized by
the administration, as were the University
Police and custodial workers' unions, after
their constituent employees' votes were
taken.


"The University of Florida probably
had to make a decision as to who they're
going to fight the most," he said.
Reynolds added that the administra-
tion was engaged in a "power play."
"They want to control curriculum, aca-
demic freedom," he said.
In an e-mail, UF President Bernie
Machen responded that the GAU presi-
dent "doesn't know what she/he is talk-
ing about."
The bargaining unit, the group repre-
sented by the union, did not include the
professional colleges of law and medicine
and the Institute of Food and Agriculture
Sciences in the original contract.
The university has said it wants its en-
tire faculty to vote.
Vice President for Human Resources
Kyle Cavanaugh said those colleges
should be included if the union is to be
recognized again.
"Our interest is to have the faculty have
the opportunity to have a voice, not just a
subset," Cavanaugh said. "Our faculty has
not had a choice since the '70s as to wheth-
er or not they will be represented."
Former UFF President Kim Emery said
nonmember faculty have always had the
opportunity to be represented and that
they had input in their exclusion.
"I don't think it's my place or the Board
of Trustees' place or the Legislature's place
to tell them that they have to be in the
unit," she said.
The commission also addressed the
question of the bargaining unit's composi-
tion.
The UF Board of Trustees "also claims
that the bargaining unit must be defined
differently from the current bargaining
unit," the recommendation's author,
Sharon Zahner, said. "I reject this argu-
ment."
The commission is expected to issue a
final order regarding the university's obli-
gations to the faculty union.
Emery said "the odds are extremely
unlikely" the commission will ask for the
bargaining unit to be changed.


Black student enrollment declines


ADDRESS, from page 1

Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president
for student affairs, said first-generation
college students add a new perspec-
tive to a student body. Telles-Irvin, a
first-generation college student herself,
knows this from experience.
Telles-Irvin, who is Mexican
American, said UF is likely to see more
Hispanic-student enrollment as the
population grows in the state and UF
builds an alumni network in places like
Miami.
This year's freshman class has 130
to 150 more Hispanic students than last
year, a jump of about 17 percent.
Aside from the drinking problems
and diversity needs of the student body,
Machen admitted the university may
have more work to do in the area of fac-
ulty resources.
Though UF came out No. 50 in the
U.S.' News & World Report's best-col-
lege ratings this year, the university
ranks 120th'in faculty resources such as
compensation.
"There's no mystery as to what the
problem is," Machen said.
Though UF failed to persuade legis-
lators this year to hand over control of
tuition one of UF's main revenue gen-


erators Machen said his fund-raising
campaign has gone well.
The Faculty Challenge, the fund-rais-
ing campaign to support professors that
he announced at last year's State of the
University Address, has raised $42 mil-
lion in its first year.
Machen. said he will break that down
into $16 million to support faculty, $7
million to graduate students and $19
million to research and programs. But
the challenge
UF will continue
Administration until it meets his
goal of $150 mil-
lion, he said, and he plans to hire more
fundraising staff to do it.
The total UF endowment reached
$835 million by July 1.
Kim Tanzer, the president of the
Faculty Senate, said another way to raise
money is through tuition. UF receives
about half the tuition money that the
University of Michigan rakes in.
But it's not so easy to get the Florida
Legislature to loosen its stranglehold on
tuition caps. The more students contrib-
ute to universities' revenue, the less they
rely on taxpayer money, she said. But so
far it seems legislators have been reluc-
tant to cede ground on either.
"They want everything for nothing,"
Tanzer said.

A sign warns motorists driving on Southwest Second Avenue of construction of turning

responds to a minor two-car accident while drivers waiting in traffic look on.

Several RTS lines-detoured past road


AVENUE, from page 1


timated to take more than a year, FDOT
spokesman Chip Skinner said.
The construction will be done in sections,
and FDOT plans to create a temporary as-
phalt lane in order to keep traffic backups
to a minimum. The first segment of the
project will take place on Second Avenue
from Southwest 28th Street to just east of
34th Street.
-"We're going to maintain a safe roadway
and create the least amount of inconvenience
to traffic as possible," Skinner said.
Bicyclists and pedestrians will face the
greatest disturbances, he said, since the tem-
porary vehicle lane will replace the existing
sidewalk.
They will be detoured to University
Avenue via 34th Street and can re-enter
Second Avenue through Southwest 28th
Street.
Residents living along Second Avenue
may also be inconvenienced by the con-
struction.
"Most of the work will be done in the
daytime, but at night we will come in to do
repaving just.because traffic will be lighter,"


Skinner said. "We are going to try our hard-
est to keep the noise to a minimum."
In order to eliminate the problem of ve-
hicles cutting across several lanes of traffic,
Skinner said the plan includes the creation
of a median on the west end of Second
Avenue from Newberry Road to 34th Street
and a narrower divide from 34th Street to
the last driveway of Westgate Plaza.
The project also includes the construc-
tion of a park called the Western Gateway
to Gainesville in the triangle of land on the
west end of Second Avenue near the fire sta-
tion.
"It's a beautification project for the
county and the city. It'll be a nice park for
residents in the area to go," Skinner said.
FDOT included UF in the planning to
ensure the phases of construction will not
impede UF home football traffic.
The only part of the project that will
completely close down lanes is the recon-
struction of Hogtown Bridge, which will
begin after the last UF home football game
Oct. 26.
Regional Transit System lines 5, 43, 34
and the on-campus Family Housing route
also have been detoured.

ADMINISTRATION

New survey shows faculty opinion of UF improving


By ASHLEY JONES
Alligator Contributing Writer
The UF faculty's second review of its superiors shows that
workplace attitudes have improved in 11 out of 15 areas.
The surveys, which allowed faculty to evaluate the per-
formance of the UF administration, were posted on the Web
sites of the president and the human resources department.
Responses will be returned this week to individual depart-
ments, UF President Bernie Machen said in his State of the
University Address on Thursday.
The survey shows that confidence in the administration
increased significantly, Machen said.
"The message from the campus is that we are heading in the
right direction," he wrote in a letter addressed to his colleagues.
Out of the 3,933 surveys issued, 1,784 were returned, a 45
percent return rate and a 2 percent increase from last year.


."The results are encouraging, but there's still room for im-
provement," Machen wrote in the letter.
Since the survey was done before the
new vice president for human resources
was hired and before a salary plan was an-
nounced, "I didn't really expect much im-
provement," Machen said in his Thursday.
speech to the Faculty Senate.
Kyle Cavanaugh, UF vice president for
human resources, said communication with
Machen faculty and staff is his biggest priority.
In his first 90 days in office, the human
resources Web site was completely redesigned, using inspira-
tion from peer institutions, the private sector and data on how
people use Internet sites, he said. Cavanaugh also plans to
develop contacts in all of UF's departments to bring together
monthly and discuss human resources issues.


Cavanaugh also hopes to see a "serious discussion" about
same-sex partner benefits this semester. He implemented
partner benefits at Rice University, which became the first
university in the state of Texas to offer them. He said he thinks
UF would be the first state university in Florida to offer partner
benefits if the plan goes through.
Across the board, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
rated the administration the lowest in improvement, stating an
11 percent decrease in satisfaction of its evaluation of benefits.
The college also rated the administration poorly in the areas of
communication, university image and leadership.
The College of Nursing's staff rated the administration with
higher marks than the previous year in areas of communica-
tion, leadership and faculty-administrative.relations.
According to the survey, the main concerns for the entire
faculty are improving resources and efficiency, leadership, and
for 36 percent of faculty members, compensation and benefits.

Computer Skills Challenge I am looking for
students interested in helping produce a pilot
for a t.v. game show. The game involves
the use of computers, the internet and con-
testants. I am' trying to find out if the game,
computer skills challenge, is a game that stu-
dents find interesting and would like to par-
ticipate in. The object of the game is to find
out who can use a computer and the internet
to answer questions or solve problems faster
than anyone else. A contestant might know
the answer but they must find the answer on
the internet. The questions can come from a
certain area or cover all areas. I am hoping
-the computer lab will get involved and maybe
allow their computers to be used. It can
be competition among individuals, classes,
departments or different schools. Contact

UF FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK


Ingram considers returning to basketball team


By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

Just when his basketball days seemed to
be in the rearview, freshman quarterback
Cornelius Ingram could grace the hard-
wood again perhaps sooner than later.
After opting to concentrate solely on
football during the summer, Ingram said he
has contemplated a return to a basketball
team with desperate needs at his former


guard position.
Following the departures of guards Matt
Walsh and Anthony Roberson, top incom-
ing recruit Derwin Kitchen was denied
entry to the university after not attaining
an acceptable score on the FCAT, limiting
the Gators to a pair of freshmen as reserves
at guard.
"I can't lie. I have [thought about return-
ing]," Ingram said. "I didn't see the paper
or anything, but [forward] Chris [Richard]
told me about the situation. Before it hap-


opened, he told me what was going on."
A possible return to
the court could come at
the end of football season,
but Ingram didn't make it
clear if he would consider
an earlier comeback.
"Maybe [I'd return]
after the season, but who
knows," Ingram said. "I
might be a little behind. If I can get out
there and pick it up, I'd definitely be will-


ing to do it."
Football coach Urban Meyer considers
freshman Josh Portis and junior Gavin
Dickey as top candidates to back up start-
ing quarterback Chris Leak. Basketball
coach Billy Donovan said he would wel-
come Ingram back in the future.
"More than likely, [Donovan] will give
me an opportunity to get back out there,"
Ingram said. "So I'm going to try to get back
out there."

For a team that has claimed
at least a share of the last 14
Southeastern Conference cham-
pionships, it might be a bit of a
stretch to be playing the role of
underdog.
For a team coming off a 28-5
season and ending with its earliest
NCAA Tournament exit in over a
decade, it might be difficult to find
their way back to the top.
For a team that lost four highly-
accomplished seniors, it might be
difficult to replace their record-set-

Welcome to the 2005 edition of
UF volleyball, a year full of both
promise and potential problems.
""There were so many things
about last year's team that I'm not
sure those outside the program
c6uld appreciate," UF coach Mary
Wise said. "What that group went
through and the success they had,
dealing not only with graduation'
but with injury. It was one tough
year."
Two years ago, UF lost two All--
Americans when Aury Cruz and .
Benavia Jenkins graduated. Now,-
the 2005 squad faces another big
challenge with the loss of middle
blockers Sherri Williams and
Michelle Chatman.
While Wise feels sophomore
Kisya Killingsworth has the po-
"tential to be a great middle blocker,
she admits that her team is very
inexperienced at the position.

Lets backtrack to last summer when
the football team was succeeding in its
attempt to lure Cops TV headquarters

Louis in the Bullpen arguments about who had the loveli-

done, there were a number of sworn
complaints, a handful of arrests and one not-so-responsible
coach. Here's what everybody's favorite ex, Ron Zook, had to
say about last summer's behavior at the 2004 SEC Media Days:
"This is the time of year when we're not able to be around, and
you always worry about what's going to happen."
Here's what safety Jarvis Herring, one of last summer's po-
lice-blotter casualties, has already said thissummer: "The guys
are actually scared now, scared to make a mistake."
Here's what happened to Herring and fellow arrested
Channing Crowder after the 2004 summer incidents: they
were named defensive captains in UF's SEC opener against
Tennessee.
Here's what happened to me after I publicly critiqued
Zook's decision to do this: I nearly entered the Witness

tal meeting in the theatre almost resulted in my own premiere

UF SOCCER

Fresh team roster brainstorms new plan of attack


By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer

A top-heavy and senior-laden
offensive attack in 2004 has given
way to serious questions concern-
ing the UF offense in 2005.
How does the No. 13 UF soc-
cer team replace Southeastern
Conference Player of the Year
Stephanie Freeman and assist
leader Ashley Kellgren?
Can former defender Melanie
Booth make the transition across
the midline?


Will Jasmine Johnson respond
well to increased playing time
coming back from injury?
Who, out of an offensive-
minded freshman class, will step
up?
Fans will receive answers
starting at tonight's 7 p.m. home
opener against Drake.
Quantity up front will re-
place the quality of Freeman and
Kellgren. The UF forward arsenal
runs six deep, and Coach Becky
Burleigh will start the season
-scouring her depth chart to keep


fresh players on the field.
"We're really excited about
some of the people who are going
to have an opportunity to step up
now that those people are gone,"
Burleigh said. "So, I think it's just.
a matter of our team figuring out
who those go-to people are. We
don't think it's going to be just
one person. That will make us a
lot more dangerous."
Only two returning starters

goals).
The addition of Booth, a
two-time SoccerBuzz.com All-
America defender, forms a trio
of veteran starters amidst the six-
player rotation at forward.
"She's going to play a little bit
of both [forward and defender],"
Burleigh said. "She may start in
the back and then play up top.
You'd just like her to play 90
minutes because she's capable
of playing 90 minutes. She's fit
enough."
Being fit was a problem for
midfielder Jasmine Johnson in
2004. An ACL tear in her right
knee had hindered the sopho-
more since high school.
Johnson underwent surgery to
repair the knee in the offseason
and tested her movement in an
admittedly tough preseason.
"It's a lot more stable,"
Johnson said. "I feel like I have
a lot more durability in it than I
had before."
After coming off the bench ex-
clusively last season, Johnson's
improved stamina could lead to
more playing time.
"Her fitness level is way
higher," Burleigh said. "That was
obviously an issue last year. She
couldn't really push it because it
would wear on her knee. Now,
she can push herself harder, and
I think it's shown big dividends.
When she's in there, the quality
will be better."


Battling Johnson and others
for playing time at midfield and
forward is a host of newcoraers
with an attacking style.
With six out of eight freshmen
positioned at either midfield or
forward, UF has restocked with
a bevy of options.
"This is the best fresh-
man class that I have
seen since I've been here.
I think that there will be
a number of people who
contribute right away."
Cherry Pickman
UF senior

"This is the best freshman
class that I have seen since I've
been here," Pickman said. "I
think that there will be a number
of people who contribute right
away."
Megan Kerns, an All-
Tournament player at the pre-
season Westfield Cup, Ameera
Abdullah and Katie Green have
all already impressed Burleigh.
"There are several freshmen
who are going to play a lot,"
Burleigh said. "That's pretty
outstanding for Megan to get All-
Tournament. Ameera Abdullah
has shown a lot of versatil-
ity playing. the midfield and up
front and Katie Green has a tre-
mendous amount of breakaway
speed."

Three vie for goalkeeper position, playing time


* FIFTH-YEAR SENIOR
PUSHED FOR SPOT IN START-
ING COMPETITION

SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS
Alligator Writer
sdvanness@alligator.org

Jen Gardner may be a self-de-
scribed "Super Senior" on the UF
women's soccer team, but that
doesn't mean she'll be able to
take playing time in her fifth year
as a given.
Gardner, along with redshirt
junior Brittni Goodwin and fresh-
man Katie Davis are locked in a
three-way race for goalkeeper so
close that even the veteran can't
name a leader.
"There are three of us current-
ly training for goalkeeper, and
the coaches haven't let us into the
know on who will. be starting,"


Gardner said.
"We're pretty much splitting
time right now, and [tonight's
match against Drake] will pretty
much be the first indication of
who they're leaning toward."
In 2004, Gardner recorded
15 starts and finished second
among Southeastern Conference
goalkeepers with seven shutouts,
while Goodwin started eight
matches, including the first six of
the season.
Despite her youth and inexpe-
rience, Davis has already worked
her way into the picture with
strong play in exhibition matches
this year.
Junior Melanie Booth, .who
has seen time on offense as well
as defense throughout her career
at UF, said that she's confident in
whoever is eventually picked for
the job.


"From practice you can see
that everybody's in there.
They're working hard."
Melanie Booth
UFjunior

"I really have confidence in all
three of our keepers," Booth said.
"It's proof from our [exhibition
matches] on the weekend. They
all came out. They all played
equal time. They all demon-
strated really good confidence
throughout the game:
"Right now I'm not sure who
they're going to put .in the net
on Friday because it's just such
a tight fight for the position, but
I know personally that I'm confi-
dent in all three of them."
UF coach Becky Burleigh was
equally undecided on the matter.
"We haven't made any deci-


sions yet, the job is still up for
grabs until the end of the week,"
she said on Tuesday.
"I'd say Jen and Brittni have
an edge right now just because
Katie is still kind of learning
everything," Burleigh said. "But
Katie's going to push them. She
made some good saves in the ex-
hibition matches and she's come
along quicker than I expected
her to."
However the decision at goal-
keeper turns out, the remainder
of the Gators defensive squad
must be ready to protect the net
as well.
UF's roster includes 14 defen-
sive players, nine of whom are
upperclassmen. But that's offset
by the fact that many of them.
have seen little playing time in
their careers.
It's possible that having spent


years in the program may prove
just as important as real-game
experience to a group of players
whose success depends heavily
on chemistry and teamwork.
"Defense is a position that you
have to know your teammates
really well, and so we're finally
getting into the groove of being
familiar with each other and
starting to click," Booth said.
Although Booth has spent
much of the preseason develop-
ing on offense, she believes .that
the defense is beginning to gel
nicely.
"From practice you can
see that everybody's in there.
They're working hard," she said.
"They're tackling hard. We'll
have to see how it pans out [in
Friday's match against Drakel.
"As far as I've seen, we're
starting to work together."

UF VOLLEYBALL


Volleyball star takes leading role


By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer

This summer brought the early
departures of key UF athletes such
as Matt Walsh, Anthony Roberson,
Channing Crowder and Ciatrick
Fason, but arguably UF's most
dominant team-sport athlete still
wi.lbe donning orange and blue this
season.
Already a two time All-American
volleyball player, Jane Collymore
will enter her senior season as the
key component to the Gators' of-
fensive attack an attack that is
ranked eighth in the nation and
will look to win its 15th-consecutive
-Southeastern Conference title.
Of course, when you are as physi-
cally gifted as Collymore, the pres-
sure seems a little less daunting.
"Athletically, Jane is in the same
group as some of the elite athletes
we've had come through this pro-
gram," Coach Mary Wise said.
"She's a special talent because of her
jump and foot-speed."
Collymore capitalized on that
athleticism last season en route to
SEC Player of the Year honors and
All-American status. Her 604 kills
and 707 points last season both rank


second in school history.
While she will look to build upon
those numbers, it is her leadership
skills that she has truly set out to
improve this year.
"I think that when I first realized
I would have to take on a leader-
ship role, I would always kind of see
myself as a lead-by-example type of
leader," Collymore
said. "But I have
been working on
becoming more
vocal, because al-
though that's not
something that is
as natural for me, I
Collymore think it is important
to the team for me to be more vocal."
Leadership aside, it is Collymore's
ability to get high above the net that
has been driving opposing teams
crazy.
"She jumps so high, you can
throw a ball up to the ceiling and
she'd go up and get it," sophomore
setter Angie McGinnis said. "She
just hits so much higher than most
people do."
Collymore attributes most of her
success to her coaches and to her
commitment to the game.
"Coming out of high school, I


didn't have a lot of experience under
my belt at all, but I knew that I had
a lot of potential, and I just wanted
to sit back and absorb as much as I
could," Collymore said. "I knew I
always wanted to do great things in
the sport and I had potential. It was
just a matter of getting the right ex-
perience and the right instruction."
This summer, Collymore was
selected as the starting outside hitter
for the U.S. Women's National Team
in the Pan American Cup, and she
aspires to make the U.S. Olympic
team once her playing days at UF
come to an end.
For now, Collymore will direct
her focus on the upcoming season, in
which the Gators will look to recover
from a hard-fought loss to eventual
National Champion Stanford in last
year's NCAA tournament.
For a perennial powerhouse like
the Gators, the goal is always to
win a national title, and Collymore
may be the key to achieving that
goal.
"Jane has the physical ability to
dominate a match," Wise said. "She
is the type of player that can take a
team to the next level. To be success-
ful, you have to have a player like
that."


ANASTASIS, from page 20

tered me with an F-bomb when I tried to interview a
fellow linebacker.
Now, less than one year later, Herring and Co. appear
to be smarter and wittier, while Crowder and fellow
Dolphin Ricky Williams are, well, let's not speculate.
Point is, this summer's lack of news is good news
for Meyer. And it's no coincidence. Just call it Urbine
intervention.
As for the remainder of the SEC?
Gainesville's Golden Boy Steve Spurrier has gri-
maced as 12 current or former 'Cocks have been ar-
rested since November. Rumor has it that Tennessee's
13 charges or arrests since February 2004 induced Coach
Philip Fulmer's first-ever documented weight drop.
And Georgia's coach halted proceedings to change his
name to Mark Right when four Bulldogs were arrested
during the off-season.
Gone is keg-tosser Taurean Charles. In is team su-
pervisor and part-time angel Brandon Siler. Out is a
combustible Crowder. Welcome are the Urbana rights
and the coaching staff to enforce them.
In various preseason polls, the Gators are
ranked 11, 10, three and unpredictable. In arrest
logs, the Gators are 0-262 (the number of arrests
since Meyer first arrived in Gainesville 262 days
ago) and nowhere-to be found.
. And so, despite the fact that UF must prove itself on
the field, one thing is for certain.
There's isn't one ranking good enough for UF's un-
arrested development.

UF SOCCER

Kerns greets friendly competition from hometown


By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer

No matter where the match is
played it's a home game for UF
freshman Megan Kerns tonight.
Kerns, a native of Ames, Iowa,
will make her James G. Pressly
Stadium debut tonight against the
Drake Bulldogs, who play their
home games in Des Moines, a half-
hour drive from Ames.
Not only does Kerns' mother
work at Drake, but her former
Olympic Development Program
Coach and former high school
and dub teammate suit up for
the Bulldogs. Corbin Stone, who
Coached Kerns for two of her seven
years in the ODP, will man the op-


posing sideline tonight.
"I'm not looking forward to it,"
Stone joked. "I know exactly what
she can do to us. She can score goals
against us."
Aside from a victory, impressing
Stone would be an added bonus.
"He was a big mentor for me,"
Kerns said. "I just can't wait to show
him everything that he's helped me
do and all the progress that I've
made here."
Kerns could also be staring down
a former teammate. Drake freshman
and fellow Ames High standout
Sarah Eggert's trip to Gainesville
hinges on an ACL injury.
"We were actually very good
friends," Kerns said. "We've played
together since we were U-10. She's


played on all my club teams and all
my ODP teams and my high school
team. If she's there, I think it'll be
fun getting to play against her again.
I can't wait. I wish that she could
play I hope she
can play."
have much to
prove Eggert,
Stone or anybody
else following
her performance
Kerns in a pair of exhi-
bition games. The
forward highlights an impressive
group of incoming freshmen at UF
and opened her collegiate career by
recording an assist at last weekend's
Westfield Cup in Akron, Ohio.


As the only freshman to tally a
point in the Gators' two exhibition
games, Kerns dished the ball to
Cherry Pickman for the game-win-
ning goal Saturday.
"It felt really good," Kerns said.
"It also felt good that our team could
finally start to score. It really helped
loosen things up for everybody."
Kerns' play didn't go unnoticed.
She joined junior midfielder Ananda
Erickson as the only UF players to
earn all-tournament honors.
"Going in, [the freshmen] were
told that we'd all get equal playing
time," Kerns said. "But I did not
expect anything like all-tournament.
That was the biggest surprise for
me."
Kerns' ability to tally points was


no surprise to Burleigh, who knows
Kerns can produce near the net.
"Megan has been a scorer ongjv-
ery-team she's played on," Burleigh
said. "Sometimes scoring isn't a
knack as much as it is a skill. I think
she's just good around the goal.
She's strong, can hold players off
and she's got a great shot. She works
hard."
She works just as hard off te
field. A National Merit Scholar
Finalist, Kerns ranked among the
top .06 percent of students who took
the high school test.
"That's really, really impressive,"
Burleigh said. "We talk all the time
about balancing academics and ath-
letics, and she's really a role model
for that."


UF to face 11 NCAA tournament teams from '04, including rival Tennessee


VOLLEYBALL, from page 20

the Year Angie McGinnis, and the wide re-
ceivers are outside hitters Marcie Hampton
and 2004 SEC Player of the Year Jane
Collymore. All three spent the summer play-
ing overseas for U.S. national teams.
"Anytime you play volleyball, you get bet-
ter," Hampton said. "So, I think spending a lot
of time this summer in the gym really helped


me just tune up and get a lot better."
Hampton and her team will need all the
experience they gained over the summer as
the Gators embark on another brutal schedule
this year.
UF will face 11 NCAA Tournament teams
from 2004, including Southern California,
Texas A&M and Notre Dame in. early
September at a tournament in San Antonio.
"Come match time, I might ask myself,
'What the heck was I thinking?'" Wise said.
"But we've always understood for success


that you have to risk failure. The way you do
that is by scheduling as tough opponents as
you can."
One team that UF doesn't have the option
of facing is Tennessee. Twice this season the
Gators will face the Volunteers, who have
emerged as a consistent rival in the SEC
- something UF hasn't seen in some time.
Tennessee and UF sat just one spot apart
in the preseason rankings at No. 9 and No. 8
respectively, marking the first time in SEC his-
tory that two teams have been ranked in the


preseason coaches' top-10 poll.
Wise even indicates, that the Knoxville
squad, which won an SEC tournament title in
Gainesville last year, might be the in-confer-
ence team to beat this season.
"Hats off to Tennessee, they beat us two out
of three times," Wise said.
"They only graduated one player, so, on
paper, I think you have to give Tennessee the
nod because of those two things.
"I think it shapes up to be two, potentially
three, great matches."


It's Just a Ball.

So, the other day I see two guys arguing over a ball.The one guy
says, "It's just a soccer ball buddy." I thought the other guy
was going to pass out! He says,"Just a ball??? Where I come from,
this 'bail' divides households. This 'ball'pits brother vs. brother." So
it got me thinkin'that I may want to check out
what this "ball" is really all about.

McCray springs


I'
- L -~ -~


back into action


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org

Amber McCray has always been
one for a challenge.
As the Texas Girls Coaches
Association Athlete of the Year in
2002, McCray could have stayed
home and played at Texas or gone
west to play at national power
University of Southern California.
Instead, McCray chose to come
to Gainesville, where in addition to
joining a team that was on a decade-
plus conference championship win
streak, she stepped squarely into the
shadow of her sister, Nicole, an All-
American at UF in 2002.
After seeing a small amount of
playing time her freshman year,
McCray was expected to be a major
force as a right side hitter for the
Gators in 2004 before the unthink-
able occurred.
In spring practice, she went
down with a severe knee injury,
ending her sophomore year before
it even began.
Now, more than a year later,
McCray is ready to step back on the
court with the same vigor that she
had prior to her injury.
"I don't feel like my expecta-
tions ever changed once I got hurt,"
McCray said. "Because I knew that
with such a great staff and great
trainer and great strength and con-
ditioning coach and everything, I
would be able to come back and
accomplish the same things I had
planned on before."
"iicCray's injury put UF coach
Mary Wise in a bind last season.
The Gators were left without an
experienced right side hitter, whose
left-handed attack is exceptionally
hard to defend.
"I think we once said a year ago
we're not sure how long it's going to
be before we realize in how many
ways did Amber's absence affect
us," Wise said. "Today I can tell


you, we are so much further ahead
in training camp because we're not
trying to find a right side. We spent
so much of last year's preseason just
filling that gap, and now we don't
have to do that."
While McCray continued her
rehab, she chose to still dress with
her teammates and spent games
charting plays on the bench, which
Wise felt was important to make her
still feel like part of the team.
"Well you do know these are
females, we don't even go to the
bathroom by ourselves," Wise said.
"So keeping women in a group is
important to us."
As a result of her strenuous re-
hab, McCray has
strengthened her
knee to the point
where her jump
reach is higher
now then it was
two years ago
when she was an
McCray incoming fresh-
man.
The difference and the impact of
her return has not been lost on her
teammates.
"Oh, wow, Amber's return is
huge for us," senior Jane Collymore
said. "She was a highly-touted
recruit and she's a great right side
with a really quick left arm, which
is something rare, and her being
healthy for us is a huge plus."
McCray's return allows Kisya
Killingsworth to return to her
natural position in the middle and
gives UF a hitting option opposite
Collymore and Marcie Hampton.
Standing sweat-covered in the
middle of the Stephen C. O'Connell
Center court after a four-kill effort
in the Orange and Blue Scrimmage
on Saturday, McCray knew she was
back where she belonged.
"It felt great," she said. "This
was my first time playing on the
O'Dome floor since 2003, so being in
this atmosphere and with the Gator

Siler nominated for Butkus


FOOTBALL, from page 20

PICKING IT UP: Meyer appeared
especially pleased following
Thursday's practice, compliment-
ing the team's grasp of his fast-
paced style of play.
"We are not a slow walk-
around outfit. We're a fast, up-
tempo team," Meyer said. "Get to
the line, call the play and go. Get
back, go again.
"That's the way a practice is
supposed to look, and to be honest
with you, I haven't seen too many
of those around here."


BUTKUS BOUND?: Sophomore
Brandon Siler made the cut as
one of 65 linebackers selected to
the Butkus Award Watch List,
thl Downtown Athletic Club of
Orlando announced Thursday.
The Butkus Award is given an-


nually to the nation's top linebacker.
The list will shrink to 10 semi-
finalists on Oct. 20, and -then to
three finalists before the winner is
named on Dec. 10.
Siler, who earned Southeastern
Conference Defensive Player of
tle Year last season, will return
to practice today after suffering a
concussion on Monday.

THIS AND THAT: Meyer named
cornerback Avery Atkins, safety
Dorian Munroe, linebacker Jon
Demps and running back Kestahn
Moore to a select group of true
freshmen who should play in the
Sept. 3 opener against Wyoming.
Meyer, however, remained
skeptical whether any first-year
receivers, including top recruits
David Nelson and Nyan Boateng,
would see time, saying they likely
would play before season's end.

VOLUME 99 ISSUE 3 the independent florida Not officially associated with the University of Florida Pubished by Campus Communications, ic. of Gainesville, Flonida We Inform. You Decide. Recycle FRIDAY, AUGUST 26,2005 ADMINISTRATION U ninor s By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@aligator.org UF remains the only state institution not to acknowledge the faculty union United Faculty of Florida after a July 28 Florida Supreme Court ruling. Union representatives believe the ruling confirms what they've been arguing for several years: The university is obligated to recognize their union. "It's thme for the University of Florida to follow the law," said Tom Auxter, statewide president of the faculty union. "The University of Florida has always maintained that it is different from the other institutions." Pam Bernard UF general counsel But the university administration is waiting for a state mandate before it acts, saying that UF stands apart from the other state universities that have begun bargaining with the union. "The University of Florida has always maintained that it is different from the other institutions," said Pam Bernard, vice president and general counsel for UP. UF is a member of the Association of American Universities, an elite group of research-intensive institutions that includes Yale, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Bernard said AAU schools traditionally have stronger systems of faculty governance, which may limit the need for a union. The faculty union had a relationship with every state university's administration from 1976 until 2001, when the statewide higher-education governing body, the Board of Regents, was dissolved and the universities' individual boards of trustees were established. With tis restructuring of the State University System, most campuses stopped honoring the union's contract, as it had dealt with the Board of Regents. In Fall 2002, 72 percent of the faculty in UF's nonprofessional colleges signed union cards in SEE UNION, PAGE 8 Machen addresses UF's condition By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@alligator.org UF President Bernie Machen made it clear his fight against binge drinking has just begun in his annual State of the University Address on Thursday Andrea Morales/Aligator Staff UF President Bernie Machen mingles in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on Thursday afternoon after his State of the University address. While some critics have laughed off his attempts to moderate drinking, Machen won't back down, he told a crowd of about 200. "This is a secret that we don't like to talk about, but it is a deadly problem," he said. But the president has other concerns for the student body besides drinking. As admissions figures show, fewer black freshmen have registered at UF this year. Machen announced a scholarship program he said hopefully would bring more minority and underprivileged students to the state's flagship institution. The Florida Opportunity Scholarships will be aimed at students who have economic need and are the first in their families to attend a four-year college or university, he said. The program will receive $1 million in startup money from the university. Machen said he expects to raise private funds to support it as well, adding in a later interview that he predicts huge alumni interest in donating to the scholarships. "I think that'll get us started," he said. This year's freshman class includes about 60 fewer black students than last year, a drop of about 8 percent. That's about the same drop that other universities around the state have experienced. Many underprivileged students UF come from families that traditionally Administration fear going into debt, Machen said. Though many of the targeted students would qualify for the Bright Futures Scholarship, that award only covers tuition. The Opportunity Scholarships would help pay the estimated $12,000 a year students spend for living costs to keep them from going into debt, he said. That way, students who otherwise would attend college while living at home to cut costs can afford to come to Gainesville for a top-notch education. "We want them at the University of Florida," Machen said. The president said he didn't know how many students might take advantage of the program or how much it would cost. But money is not a factor, he said. "I hope it costs a lot," he said, because that means students would be taking advantage of it. The Student Financial Aid Office will handle the program, which Machen said he hopes to promote to students as young as high school sophomores to make sure they include UF in their college search.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 3 0 THE GATOR PARTY PROMISED IN THE SPRING TO BUY TOWELS FOR STUDENT USE. By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org A Student Gover nent promise to provide towels at the Southwest Recreation Center is in limbo after discovering the future closing of Campus Laundry Services. The Gator Party campaigned in the Spring 2005 election to spend about $25,000 of studentfunded money from SG reserves for 15,000 towels at Southwest Recreation Center. The plan was for students to be able to use the provided towels at the gym and have them washed on campus. But the plan has yet to materialize. "It's going to be done," Student Body President Joe Goldberg said. 'We made a promise to students. It's not a hard thing. We're going to deliver on our promise." Students are required to bring towels to use the strength and cardio rooms at UF gyms. Goldberg said many students have stopped him on campus and asked him, "Where's my towel?" An unexpected roadblock Goldberg said he ran into this summer was learning that Campus Laundry Services, located near the Physical Plant, Student is about to Government close. Therefore, Goldberg and his team need to find a new place to wash all the promised towels. He said that while he was campaigning, he was not up to date on plans to cancel the laundry service. "I was running for office at the time," he said. "It's not a big deal." A facility manager at the center, Valerie Wideroff, said the estimated $25,000 towel cost is unwarranted. "I really don't think there is a need," she said. "I haven't seen that many complaints." But Director of Recreational Sports David Bowles said it could be helpful to provide towels because there is the occasional student who forgets to bring one. Goldberg said there are up to 60,000 visits to the cardio and strength rooms in peak months. Director of UF Business Services Jim Morgan said news of the closing came in December because Stands at LIF decided to expand. If Laundry Services wanted to stay alive, it would cost $5 million to expand the building -a growth that was "not economically feasible," Morgan said. Morgan said UF is in the process of drafting a lucrative contract with a replacement laundry service in Clermont. "We'll still arrange for options," he said, of allowing SG to enter the spin. "That shouldn't be an issue at all." Goldberg said a bill about the towels would be presented to the Student Senate on Sept. 6. Souvenir Edition!

4, ALLIGATOR N FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 'D me vno %Fs hectic first week E UP TO 7,500 JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES WILL BE ON CAMPUS THIS WEEKEND. By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Staff Writer nhughes@alligator.org The second Jehovah's Witnesses convention to hit Gainesville in less than two months may cause problems for an already jam-packed campus today and Saturday. As many as 7,500 are expected to attend thils weekend's convention at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, which happens to coincide with the first week of Fall classes. Lionel Dubay, the building's director, said the event is expected to cause major traffic concerns, as the O'Connell Center has never hosted an event this large during an afternoon in the first week of classes. Friday is anticipated to be the most problematic because the event runs during the same hours many students have classes -from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. -and as many as 6,500 visitors will be on campus, with 1,000 more coming Saturday. Dubay stressed that the financial benefit to the community outweighs the hassle drivers may experience for the weekend. "We had one of these conventions back over the July 4 weekend which generated $2.2 million On to the local commuCaMPUS nity" he said. The O'Connell Center is expected to host similar events for the Jehovah's Witnesses for the next four years, with three or four conventions each summer, which, according to Dubay, could generate between $40 and $50 million for the area. "I'm confident that people will understand that this does have a real positive financial impact to the local community, which, in turn, is positive to the university," he said. "There's a lot of part-time positions out there where students are working, and those dollars are being generated out there." Dubay said future conventions will not be held during the first week of Fall classes. "The impact obviously would not be as critical as it is right now," he said. A number of buses, including eight from the Gainesville Regional Transit System, are being commissioned to attempt to keep auto traffic to a minimum during the worshippers' stay in.Gainesville. In addition, the Gainesville and University Police departments will patrol "critical intersections" on campus, Dubay said. Dubay advised students to steer clear of the major roads and intersections around the O'Connell Center to avoid traffic -specifically, Gale Lemerand Drive, Stadium Road and University Avenue.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 UF laundrmymproduct sp-eeds drying By CRYSTAL HENRY Alligator Writer chenry@alligator.org As Gainesville Regional Utilities awaits approval from the City Commission to raise electric, water and wastewater rates in October; UF researchers have developed a product that could help abate the rising costs. UF Center for Surface Science and Engineering Director Dinesh Shah and chemical engineering doctoral student Daniel Carter formulated a compound that, when added to a load of laundry, makes clothing shed 20 percent more water during the spin cycle, according to a university press release. "We feel it's very cost-effective research and convenient for consumers." Dinesh Shah UF Center for Surface Science and Engineering director Since the clothes take less time to dry, households will use less electricity. "We feel it's very cost-effective research and convenient for consumers," Shah said. The U.S. Department of Energy's Web site states that if a dryer is used for one hour each day, homeowners spend from $657 to $1,825 each year on the electricity for the dryer alone, making it one of the highest-draining appliances in the home. After experimenting first with a centrifuge, then a real washer and dryer, the researchers found that five parts of a common detergent and one part fabric softener added before the spin cycle forced the clothes to shed 20 percent more water than untreated clothes. Carter and Shah said consumers could reduce drying time by more than 10 percent, saving a total of $266 million annually, with the water-shedding compound. The key to the research, Carter said in the release, was that the spaces between the fibers in fabrics make small tubes that hold in water with surface tension. It's the same reason a submerged straw will hold water when covered at the other end and lifted out of the surface. By reducing surface tension, the fabric retained less waTricia Coyne/ Alligator Staff Freshman Elizabeth Stinson spends the afternoon doing her laundry in the Tolbert area laundry facility Thursday.

By KIMBERLY GOUZ Alligator contributing Writer Thomas Vermeer did not want to have the same campus traffic ticket troubles as his friends. After his friend received a $74.50 ticket from the University Police Department for lacking head and taillights on a bicycle, Vermeer avoided potential headache by buying some for his bike. "I had about three friends who received tickets last semester" Vermeer said. "It's the little things that [UPD] catch you on." Vermeer, a third-year electrical engineering major, was one of about 500 students who attended the UPD open house on Thursday. Police answered questions about bicycle and alcohol laws, Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol, violence in the workplace, and its free self-defense education classes for women. "The main focus of the agency is to provide service to the students," UPD Capt. Jeff Holcomb said. Students, lured to the event by free pizza, were able to register their bicycles with UPD, sign up for upcoming self-defense classes and enter drawings for Gators Tshirts, hats and other prizes. Lindsay Fernandez, who heard about the self-defense classes from a police officer at Preview, signed up for the next Publ ic class. bae a"I decided to register because it is scary to walk alone at night, and I want to be able to kick some butt if I have to," she said. The Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) courses are taught by UPD officers who sometimes dress in padded aggressor suits to teach defense.

6, ALLIGATOR 0 FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 Editorial We here at the Department of Darts & Laurels are proud of our newspaper status. After all, we get to insult and ridicule those members of society who displease us. And occasionally, when we get a burst of alcohol-induced goodwill, we raise a good deed up on a shiny pedestal. But the first week of classes has coincided with a spike in the idiocy of our mother hen: the media. Yup, she's been plopping out bad eggs all over our nice, clean kitchen floor. OK, maybe it wasn't clean, but at least we Febreezed it once in a while. So burn all those new textbooks, light up a fat cigar and tap that wondrous keg of cynicism as we head into this week's edition of. arts & Laurels We'll start off by asking our own sniper to take aim and shoot a just-cut-out-your-tongue-and-settle-down DART at Rev. Pat Robertson for telling his followers that the United States should kill Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez because "it's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war." We think the reverend needs to check his phone connection to the Almighty, or soon he might find himself at the wrong end of the immortal spectrum. But our real beef is with the media for even reporting this drivel. Do we want to know when every crazy TV preacher weighs in on international issues? God no. Pun intended. Instead of focusing on how the government will really deal with the problem, newspapers have published countless stories on one uninformed and off-handed comment. And we're a little worried that the government even bothered to issue a response against Robertson's idea. Did the leaders of the free world actually consider taking advice from a man who organizes prayer sessions to solve political problems? If so, we at the Department of Darts & Laurels suddenly are feeling very unsafe. But Robertson isn't the only nut job who's been in the news this week. We also throw a somebody-needs-a-napand-an-injection-of-self-esteem DART to the woman who filed a complaint with the state of New York against her doctor because he hurt her feelings. Dr. Jerry Bennett told the anonymous woman she was obese and needed to lose weight before it killed her. Whoa. Are people now using the government as their personal therapist? We hate to think of our tax dollars being used to soothe a typically obese American. That is, if we actually paid our taxes. Which brings us to our next victim.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions ONLY FAIR T OLy Au A DIRECTOR 05 MaiColumn Bra nd-new UF slogan needs update fter years of sacrifice and hard work, UF is well on its way to achieving the goal we've all been pushing so hard for: becoming one of the Top 10 public research institutions in the country. Lately, however, it's become clear that one aspect of the university isn't living up to the high standards required to reach that position. Call me crazy, but I think our official slogan has become dated. Don't get me wrong: There's no doubt that "the foundation for The Gator Nation" has served us well. During the motto's three-day tour of duty, UF's status as ground zero for everything related to Gator sports has been proven beyond all doubt. Similarly, everyone who previously believed that Bud Light, in fact, was the foundation for The Gator Nation, has been reminded duly that the university itself holds that honor. In our quest for U.S. News & World Report glory, however, I don't think the slogan gets across the message we need to send. The hard fact is public university ranking experts these days don't care as much as they once did about a university's ranking in the hierarchy of The Gator Nation. I think it's telling that not a single Top 10 public university makes any reference whatsoever to The Gator Nation in its slogan. It's time we finally found the phrase that truly can sum up everything you need to know about our university in 15 words or fewer. But this time we won't be able to hire another marketing firm to come up with a new slogan for us, as the $85,000 we spent last time used up our budget allowance for MBEs (miscellaneous branding expenses). One option would be to recycle one of the many inspirational phrases that have occupied the position of chief UF motto before. After only a six-month run, "An unparalleled university Matt Sanchez experience that lasts a lifetime" Pure Foppery still has some fight left in it -exmsanchez@aIligator.otg cept that everyone now is hip to m___n____ tor__rg the fact it doesn't actually mean anything. Or there's always the old standby "Gator football. you pretty much have to." But this seems redundant with morale already riding so high after the ascension of Pope Urban Meyer to UF's highest appointed office. So maybe the old slogans were retired for a reason. It's hard to imagine a revival of the original, from back in the days when UF and FSU were the only choices: "UF: Because you don't want to go to the all-girls school, do you?" Unfortunately, the administration likely won't be much help either. After spending a couple of years on the job, the best President Machen has been able to come upwith has been the probably still-too-optimistic "UP: Definitely no booze here." So, where can we find a slogan that represents both the essence of UF now and the high aspirations we have for the future? Maybe we should try being honest -play to our strengths while not turning people off by sugarcoating things. In that vein, my personal recommendation is "UP: Cheap and good. Plus you get to beat on the 'Noles." After all, that's pretty much the answer the average UF student would give for why they came here anyway. Matt Sanchez is a journalism senior.

Guest column Intelligent Design n Eric Wang's well-written (but somewhat shortsighted) column, he cries foul that, ".there is not a marketplace of competing ideas in our public schools today, but only a monopoly of evolutionary theory." Today is the result of more than 2,000 years of competing ideas. Aristotle and Plato argued that living things showed "final causes" in their apparent design. Empedocles argued that change could occur in organisms to allow adaptation, giving the appearance of design. Darwin argued 150 years ago the same. The crux of the issue is whether or not a "Designer" moves us toward a presumed goal. The error in Wang's thinking is that science can reject or accept this philosophical notion. How? It can, and does, subject the premise of change and adaptation, both of which are natural phenomena, to its method of inquiry. Science is by. definition methodological naturalism, and as such tests and questions only physical and natural phenomena. Science is limited in scope (and "on purpose") to questions of natural philosophy, not whether a "Designer" had it all in mind. It ignores the question because science is constrained to natural explanation of natural phenomena. So the question remains -can science empirically detect God's fingerprints? Is it possible to know scientifically, rather than "by faith," if we were "designed"? not a true science S. Daniel Morgan What is the natural evidence Speaking Out of supernatural creation? How does one distinguish ignorance of natural phenomena from knowledge of supernatural phenomena? For hundreds of years, gaps in knowledge were filled with "God did it." Now they are being filled with "Designer did it." Has science proven either one philosophically wrong, or simply shown us that the mechanism by which posited Designers work is inextricable from the natural universe, and that the universe and its natural laws are all that science can and will comment upon? If we want to teach science, we teach natural mechanisms and processes, without invoking supernatural causes. If we want to teach anything else, Wang and others had better realize we may no longer honestly call it "science," but must admit we have moved into metaphysics, philosophy, or theology. Is there a "monopoly" of thought, or is science the one way of rationally, and objectively, viewing our natural universe? Why did the Kansas board consider redefining science itself into one of these three categories? Is it the job of the state, or of families, to lay the foundation for those? S. Daniel Morgan 6CH FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to theEditor Israel disengagement motives not peace-oriented While Israeli settlers have faced "boxes, bubble wrap and masking tape" in their disengagement from the Gaza Strip, the Palestinians have faced barbed wire, bullets and barricades over three decades of occupation. Since the blood of irnocent civilians on both sides began to flow on the streets in the latest conflict, a vast majority of citizens within Israel favored withdrawal to assist in the peace process. To assume that Ariel Sharon shares these same intentions would be naive. The leader's motives for withdrawal are to save the resources that were spent on settlers who make up 0.7 percent of the population of the Gaza Strip but owned around 33 percent of the land. Instead of exhausting funds on a futile cause, Sharon has decided to re-allocate these resources to expand settlements within the West Bank. Based on recent developments, the disengagement shouldn't be perceived as a step toward peace, but rather a perfunctory measure to conserve funds and to satisfy the international community. The essential matter at hand, and a major obstacle to peace, is the illegal presence of 380,000 settlers in the West Bank. Not until Israel gets serious about discussing withdrawal from the West Bank will the Palestinian Authority get serious about bringing security to the state of Israel.

8, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 University wants full faculty vote UNIONfrom page I favor of union representation. This majority was higher than any other state school's, union member Candi Churchill said. The same year, most Florida universities voluntarily recognized the union as a bargaining group. When FSU -and UWF refused to, the union took them to court. That case ultimately resulted in July's Supreme Court ruling. Associate Provost Joe Glover said the university is waiting for a state labor agency, the Florida Public Employees Relations Commission, to interpret the court ruling. In a recommendation issued July 14, two weeks before the ruling, the commission stated it would validate the union's old contract if it determines there is "substantial continuUF ity in the employAdministration ing enterprise." In the past, university officials have maintained that the Board of Regents' dissolution caused a break in continuity, and therefore UFF did not need to be recognized. The court ruling makes the precedentsetting statement that FSU and UWF are "successor employers" to the Board of Education, which temporarily replaced the Board of Regents. Union advocates say UF's legai situation is the same as that of FSU and UWF, so the decision should apply to UF as well. Todd Reynolds, who workscloselywith UFF as president of Graduate Assistants United, said UF's active resistance of the union is "just wasting money." "It's basically costing the University of Florida millions of dollars when they could just be recognizing the union," he said, adding that students should be frustrated with UF for throwing away their money. Reynolds' union was recognized by the administration, as were the University Police and custodial workers'unions, after their constituent employees' votes were taken. "The University of Florida probably had to make a decision as to who they're going to fight the most," he said. Reynolds added that the administration was engaged in a "power play." "They want to control curriculum, academic freedom," he said. In an e-mail, UF President Benie Machen responded that the GAU president "doesn't know what she/he is talking about." The bargaining unit, the group represented by the union, did not include the professional colleges of law and medicine and the Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences in the original contract. The university has said it wants its entire faculty to vote. Vice President for Human Resources Kyle Cavanaugh said those colleges should be included if the union is to be recognized again. "Our interest is to have the faculty have the opportunity to have a voice, not just a subset,"Cavanaugh said. "Our faculty has not had a choice since the '70s as to whether or not they will be represented." Former UFF President KimEmery said nonmember faculty have always had the opportunity to be represented and that they had input in their exclusion. "I don't think it's my place or the Board of Trustees' place or the Legislature's place to tell them that they have to be in the unit," she said. The commission also addressed the question of the bargaining unit's composition. The UF Board of Trustees "also claims that the bargaining unit must be defined differently from the current bargaining unit," the recommendation's author, Sharon Zahner, said. "I reject this argument." The commission is expected to issue a final order regarding the university's obligations to the faculty union. Emery said "the odds are extremely unlikely" the commission will ask for the bargaining unit to be changed. Black student enrollment declines ADDRESS, from page 1 Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for student affairs, said first-generation college students add a new perspective to a student body. Telles-Irvin, a first-generation college student herself, knows this from experience. Idles-Irvin, who is Mexican American, said UF is likely to see more Hispanic-student enrollment as the population grows in the state and UP builds an alumni network in places like Miami. This year's freshman class has 130 to 150 more Hispanic students than last year, a jump of about 17 percent. Aside from the drinking problems and diversity needs of the student body, Machen admitted the university may have more work to do in the area of faculty resources. Though UF came out No. 50 in the U.S. News & World Report's best-college ratings this year, the university ranks 120th in faculty resources such as compensation. "There's no mystery as to what the problem is," Machen said. Though UF failed to persuade legislators this year to hand over control of tuition -one of UF's main revenue generators -Machen said his fund-raising campaign has gone well. The Faculty Challenge, the fund-raising campaign to support professors that he announced at last year's State of the University Address, has raised $42 million in its first year. Machen said he will break that down into $16 million to support faculty, $7 million to graduate students and $19 million to research and programs. But the challenge UF will continue Admnistration until it meets his goal of $150 million, he said, and he plans to hire more fundraising staff to do it. The total UF endowment reached $835 million by July 1. Kim Tanzer, the president of the Faculty Senate, said another way to raise money is through tuition. UF receives about half the tuition money that the University of Michigan rakes in. But it's not so easy to get the Florida Legislature to loosen its stranglehold on tuition caps. The more students contribute to universities' revenue, the less they rely on taxpayer money, she said. But so far it seems legislators have been reluctant to cede ground on either. "They want everything for nothing," Tanker said. Tim Casey/ Alligator staff A sign warns motorists driving on Southwest Second Avenue of construction of turning lanes coming from Southwest 34th Street on Thursday afternoon. Ahead, a police officer responds to a minor two-car accident while drivers waiting in traffic look on. Several RTS lines detoured past road AVENUE, from page 1 timated to take more than a year, FDOT spokesman Chip Skinner said. The construction will be done in sections, and FDOT plans to create a temporary asphalt lane in order to keep traffic backups to a minimum. The first segment of the project will take place on Second Avenue from Southwest 28th Street to just east of 34th Street. "We're going to maintain a safe roadway and create the least amount of inconvenience to traffic as possible," Skinner said. Bicyclists and pedestrians will face the greatest disturbances, he said, since the temporary vehicle lane will replace the existing sidewalk. They will be detoured to University Avenue via 34th Street and can re-enter Second Avenue through Southwest 28th Street. Residents living along Second Avenue may also be inconvenienced by the construction. "Most of the work will be done in the daytime, but at night we will come in to do repaving just because traffic will be lighter," Skinner said. "We are going to try our hardest to keep the noise to a minimum." In order to eliminate the problem of vehicles cutting across several lanes of traffic, Skinner said the plan includes the creation of a median on the west end of Second Avenue from Newberry Road to 34th Street and a narrower divide from 34th Street to the last driveway of Westgate Plaza. The project also includes the construction of a park called the Western Gateway to Gainesville in the triangle of land on the west end of Second Avenue near the fire station. "It's a beautification project for the county and the city. It'll be a nice park for residents in the area to go," Skinner said. FDOT included UF in the planning to ensure the phases of construction will not impede UF home football traffic. The only part of the project that will completely close down lanes is the reconstruction of Hogtown Bridge, which will begin after the last UPF home football game Oct. 26. Regional Transit System lines 5, 43, 34 and the on-campus Family Housing route also have been detoured. For maps of the redirected routes, visit www.go-rts.com.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 9 AuMNISTRATION New s.'wurvey sehw s faculty opinion of UF imprwovingBy ASHLEY JONES Alligator Contributing Writer The UF faculty's second review of its superiors shows that workplace attitudes have improved in 11 out of 15 areas. The surveys, which allowed faculty to evaluate the performance of the UF administration, were posted on the Web sites of the president and the human resources department. Responses will be returned this week to individual departments, UF President Benie Machen said in his State of the University Address on Thursday. The survey shows that confidence in the administration increased significantly, Machen said. "The message from the campus is that we are heading in the right direction," he wrote ina letter addressed to his colleagues. Out of the 3,933 surveys issued, 1,784 were returned, a 45 percent return rate and a 2 percent increase from last year. "The results are encouraging, but there's still room for improvement," Machen wrote in the letter. Since the survey was done before the new vice president for human resources was hired and before a salary plan was announced, "I didn't really expect much improvement," Machen said in his Thursday speech to the Faculty Senate. Kyle Cavanaugh, UF vice president for human resources, said communication with Mahn faculty and staff is his biggest priority In his first 90 days in office, the human resources Web site was completely redesigned, using inspiration from peer institutions, the private sector and data on how people use Internet sites, he said. Cavanaugh also plans to develop contacts in all of UF's departments to bring together monthly and discuss human resources issues. Cavanaugh also hopes to see a "serious discussion" about same-sex partner benefits .this semester. He implemented partner benefits at Rice University, which became the first university in the state of Texas to offer them. He said he thinks UF would be the first state university in Florida to offer partner benefits if the plan goes through. Across the board, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences rated the administration the lowest in improvement, stating an 11 percent decrease in satisfaction of its evaluation of benefits. The college also rated the administration poorly in the areas of communication, university image and leadership. The College of Nursing's staff rated the administration with higher marks than the previous year in areas of communication, leadership and faculty-adroinistrative.relations. According to the survey, the main concerns for the entire faculty are improving resources and efficiency, leadership, and for 36 percent of faculty members, compensation and benefits. -m I O 0 .P I 01, 9 e ") IE E Attention Pre-Health Students College of Medicine Electives for Pre-Health Undergrads Register on ISIS under "Medicine-General" see http://www.psychiatry.ufl.edu/courses for details & syllabus MEL 4011Introduction to the Professions of Medicine -3 Credits, 100% Web-based and Online -An overview of US Healthcare, different MD specialties, and non-MD health careers -A chance to become a TA and interact with Medical Students after course completion MEL 4012Physicians' Shadow -3 Credits, Prerequisite of MEL40l I required -Application process for enrollment -A chance to shadow physicians in area clinics -A detailed look at applying to Medical School MEL 4601Diseases of Eating -3 Credits, 100% Web-based and Online -A personal and self-evaluating look into eating disorders and how they affect friends and family -In depth look into neuro-endocrinology and how the brain and body are affected by eating disorders -.-. 22 522', K) ~ (I _$l~ofay ten.2 os bD Littze s-Hichs -Trsler F pree32/31lt~ t5 mikf L & -Lor$ g P"r E: Norned ;I -meGamfr Taflgate Su ppies a r ;-"UDTVIe sFo I 1 abl fcas, .tnotpp W e s vehicle e s es tp u s pP;; cnas 2.

SporI FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 UFsFOOTBALLaNOTEBkbK ngramn considers returning to basketball team By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Just when his basketball days seemed to be in the rearview, freshman quarterback Cornelius Ingram could grace the hardwood again -perhaps sooner than later. After opting to concentrate solely on football during the summer, Ingram said he has contemplated a return to a basketball team with desperate needs at his former guard position. Following the departures of guards Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson, top incoming recruit Derwin Kitchen was denied entry to the university after not attaining an acceptable score on the FCAT, limiting the Gators to a pair of freshmen as reserves at guard. "I can't lie. I have [thought about returning]," Ingram said. "I didn't see the paper or anything, but [forward] Chris [Richard] told me about the situation. Before it happened, he told me what was going on." A possible return to the court could come at the end of football season, but Ingram didn't make it lear if he would consider an earlier comeback. "Maybe [I'd return] after the season, but who knows," Ingram said. "I might be a little behind. If I can get out there and pick it up, I'd definitely be willing to do it." Football coach Urban Meyer considers freshman Josh Portis and junior Gavin Dickey as top candidates to back up starting quarterback Chris Leak. Basketball coach Billy Donovan said he would welcome Ingram back in the future. "More than likely, [Donovan] will give me an opportunity to get back out there," Ingram said. "So I'm going to try to get back out there."

For a team that lost four highlyaccomplished seniors, it might be difficult to replace their record-settingproduction. Welcome to the 2005 edition of UF volleyball, a year full of both promise and potential problems. "There were so many things about last year's team that I'm not sure those outside the program cOuld appreciate," UF coach Mary Wise said. "What that group went through and the success they had dealing not only with graduation but with injury. It was one tough year."

FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 21 UF SOCCER Fres&,h tearn roster brainstorms new plan; of attack By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer A top-heavy and senior-laden offensive attack in 2004 has given way to serious questions concerning the UF offense in 2005. How does the No. 13 UF soccer team replace Southeastern Conference Player of the Year Stephanie Freeman and assist leader Ashley Kellgren? Can former defender Melanie Booth make the transition across the midline? Will Jasmine Johnson respond well to increased playing time coming back from injury? Who, out of an offensiveminded freshman class, will step up? Fans will receive answers starting at tonight's 7 p.m. home opener against Drake. Quantity up front will replace the quality of Freeman and Kellgren. The UF forward arsenal runs six deep, and Coach Becky Burleigh will start the season 'scouring her depth chart to keep fresh players on the field. "We're really excited about some of the people who are going to have an opportunity to step up now that those people are gone," Burleigh said. "So, I think it's just a matter of our team figuring out who those go-to people are. We don't think it's going to be just one person. That will make us a lot more dangerous." Only two returning starters found the net more than twice in 2004 -KeLeigh Hudson (five goals) and-Cherry Pickman (four goals). The addition of Booth, a two-time SoccerBuzz.com AllAmerica defender, forms a trio of veteran starters amidst the sixplayer rotation at forward. "She's going to play a little bit of both [forward and defender]," Burleigh said. "She may start in the back and then play up top. You'd just like her to play 90 minutes because she's capable of playing 90 minutes. She's fit enough." Being fit was a problem for midfielder Jasmine Johnson in 2004. An ACL tear in her right knee had hindered the sophomore since high school. Johnson underwent surgery to repair the knee in the offseason and tested her movement in an admittedly tough preseason. "It's a lot-, more stable," Johnson said. "I feel like I have a lot more durability in it than I had before." After coming off the bench exclusively last season, Johnson's improved stamina could lead to more playing time. "Her fitness level is way higher," Burleigh said. "That was obviously an issue last year. She couldn't really push it because it would wear on her knee. Now, she can push herself harder, and I think it's shown big dividends. When she's in there, the quality will be better." Battling Johnson and others for playing time at midfield and forward is a host of newconsers with an attacking style. With six out of eight freshmen positioned at either midfield or forward, UF has restocked with a bevy of options. "This is the best freshman class that I have seen since I've been here. I think that there will be a number of people who contribute right away." Cherry Pickman UF senior "This is the best freshman class that I have seen since I've been here," Pickman said. "I think that there will be a number of people who contribute right away." Megan Kerns, an AllTournament player at the preseason Westfield Cup, Ameera Abdullah and Katie Green have all already impressed Burleigh. "There are several freshmen who are going to play a lot," Burleigh said. "That's pretty outstanding for Megan to get AllTournament. Ameera Abdullah has shown a lot of versatility playing the midfield and up front and Katie Green has a tremendous amount of breakaway speed." iimuasey/ Aiigaior IaIT Practice time is over for forward Katie Green (left) and sophomore Ashley Harris.

Gardner, along with redshirt junior Brittni Goodwin and freshman Katie Davis are locked in a three-way race for goalkeeper so close that even the veteran can't name a leader. "There are three of us currently training for goalkeeper, and the coaches haven't let us into the know on who will be starting," match against Drakel will pretty much be the first indication of who they're leaning toward." In 2004, Gardner recorded 15 starts and finished second among Southeastern Conference goalkeepers with seven shutouts, while Goodwin started eight matches, including the first six of the season. Despite her youth and inexperience, Davis has already worked her way into the picture with strong play in exhibition matches this year. Junior Melanie Booth, who has seen time on offense as well as defense throughout her career at UF, said that she's confident in whoever is eventually picked for the job. IHeyre working, Ha rd. Melanie Booth UF junior "I really have confidence in all three of our keepers," Booth said. "It's proof from our [exhibition matches] on the weekend. They all came out. They all played equal time. They all demonstrated really good confidence throughout the game. "Right now I'm not sure who they're going to put in the net on Friday because it's just such a tight fight for the position, but I know personally that I'm confident in all three of them." UF coach Becky Burleigh was equally undecided on the matter. "We haven't made any deciI d say Jen ano orir nave an edge right now just because Katie is still kind of learning everything," Burleigh said. "But Katie's going to push them. She made some good saves in the exhibition matches and she's come along quicker than I expected her to." However the decision at goalkeeper turns out, the remainder of the Gators defensive squad must be ready to protect the net as well. UF's roster includes 14 defensive players, nine of whom are upperclassmen. But that's offset by the fact that many of them have seen little playing time in their careers. It's possible that having spent y prove [1-game players whose success depends heavily on chemistry and teamwork. "Defense is a position that you have to know your teammates really well, and so we're finally getting into the groove of being familiar with each other and starting to click," Booth said. Although Booth has spent much of the preseason developing on offense, she believes that the defense is beginning to gel nicely. "From practice you can see that everybody's in there. They're working hard," she said. "They're tackling hard. We'll have to see how it pans out [in Friday's match against Drake]. "As far as I've seen, we're starting to work together."

22, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 UF VOLLEYBALL VO~~ A eyi ta a adng noe By BRYAN JONES Aligator Writer This summer brought the early departures of key UF athletes such as Matt Walsh, Anthony Roberson, Channing Crowder and Ciatrick Fason, but arguably UF's most dominant team-sport athlete still willbe donning orange and blue this season. Already a two time All-American volleyball player, Jane Collymore will enter her senior season as the key component to the Gators' offensive attack -an attack that is ranked eighth in the nation -and will look to win its 15th-consecutive -Southeastern Conference title. Of course, when you are as physically gifted as Collymore, the pressure seems a little less daunting. "Athletically, Jane is in the same group as some of the elite athletes we've had come through this program," Coach Mary Wise said. "She's a special talent because of her jump and foot-speed." Collymore capitalized on that athleticism last season en route to SEC Player of the Year honors and All-American status. Her 604 kills and 707 points last season both rank second in school history. While she will look to build upon those numbers, it is her leadership skills that she has truly set out to improve this year. "I think that when I first realized I would have to take on a leadership role, I would always kind of see myself as a lead-by-example type of leader," Collymore said. "But I have been working on becomingmore vocal, because although that's not something that is as natural for me, I Collymore think it is important to the team for me to be more vocal." Leadership aside, it is Collymore's ability to get high above the net that has been driving opposing teams crazy. "She jumps so high, you can throw a ball up to the ceiling and she'd go up and get it," sophomore setter Angie McGinnis said. "She just hits so much higher than most people do." Collymore attributes most of her success to her coaches and to her commitment to the game. "Coming out of high school, I didn't have a lot of experience under my belt at all, but I knew that I had a lot of potential, and I just wanted to sit back and absorb as much as I could," Collymore said. "I knew I always wanted to do great things in the sport and I had potential. It was just a matter of getting the right experience and the right instruction." This summer, Collymore was selected as the starting outside hitter for the U.S. Women's National Team in the Pan American Cup, and she aspires to make the U.S. Olympic team once her playing days at UF come to an end. For now, Collymore will direct her focus on the upcoming season, in which the Gators will look to recover from a hard-fought loss to eventual National Champion Stanford in last year's NCAA tournament. For a perennial powerhouse like the Gators, the goal is always to win a national title, and Collymore may be the key to achieving that goal. "Jane has the physical ability to dominate a match," Wise said. "She is the type of player that can take a team to the next level. To be successful, you have to have a player like that." vA -a Tb'0 wrd, is wvay er el d K Ii. r", it -A -i. i-,. l V' WTII, ANASTASIS, from page 20 tered me with an F-bomb when I tried to interview a fellow linebacker. Now, less than one year later, Herring and Co. appear to be smarter and wittier, while Crowder and fellow Dolphin Ricky Williams are, well, let's not speculate. Point is, this su mer's lack of news is good news for Meyer. And it's no coincidence. Just call it Urbine intervention. As for the remainder of the SEC? Gainesville's Golden Boy Steve Spurrier has grimaced as 12 current or former 'Cocks have been arrested since November. Rumor has it that Tennessee's 13 charges or arrests since February 2004 induced Coach Philip Fulmer's first-ever documented weight drop. And Georgia's coach halted proceedings to change his name to Mark Right when four Bulldogs were arrested during the off-season. Gone is keg-tosser Taurean Charles. In is team supervisor and part-time angel Brandon Siler. Out is a combustible Crowder. Welcome are the Urbana rights and the coaching staff to enforce them. In various preseason polls, the Gators are ranked 11, 10, three and unpredictaole. In arrest logs, the Gators are 0-262 (the number of arrests since Meyer first arrived in Gainesville 262 days ago) and nowhere to be found. And so, despite the fact that UF must prove itself on the field, one thing is for certain. There's isn't one ranking good enough for UF's unarrested development.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005M ALLIGATOR, 23 -F SO CER By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer No matter where the match is played, it's a home game for UF freshman Megan Kerns tonight. Kerns, a native of Ames, Iowa, will make her James G. Pressly Stadium debut tonight against the Drake Bulldogs, who play their home games in Des Moines, a halfhour drive from Ames. Not only does Kerns' mother work at Drake, but her former Olympic Development Program coach and former high school and club teammate suit up for the Bulldogs. Corbin Stone, who coached Kerns for two of her seven years in the ODP, will man the opposing sideline tonight. "I'm not looking forward to it," Stone joked. "I know exactly what she can do to us. She can score goals against us." Aside from a victory, impressing Stone would be an added bonus. "He was a big mentor for me," Kems said. "I just can't wait to show him everything that he's helped me do and all the progress that I've made here." Kerns could also be staring down a former teammate. Drake freshman and fellow Ames High standout Sarah Eggert's trip to Gainesville hinges on an ACL injury. "We were actually very good friends," Kerns said. "We've played together since we were U-10. She's played on all my club teams and all my ODP teams and my high school team. If she's there, I think it'll be fun getting to play against her again. I can't wait. I wish that she could play. I hope she can play." Kerns doesn't have much to prove Eggert, Stone or anybody else following her performance Kerns in a pair of exhibition games. The forward highlights an impressive group of incoming freshmen at UF and opened her collegiate career by recording an assist at last weekend's Westfield Cup in Akron, Ohio. As the only freshman to tally a point in the Gators' two exhibition games, Kems dished the ball to Cherry Pickman for the game-winning goal Saturday. "It felt really good," Kerns said. "It also felt good that our team could finally start to score. It really helped loosen things up for everybody." Kerns' play didn't go unnoticed. She joined junior midfielder Ananda Erickson as the only UF players to earn all-toumament honors. ."Going in, [the freshmen] were told that we'd all get equal playing time," Kems said. "But I did not expect anything like all-tournament. That was the biggest surprise for me.", Kerns' ability to tally points was no surprise to Burleigh, who knows Kerns can produce near the net. "Megan has been a scorer onvery team she's played on," Burleigh said. "Sometimes scoring isn't a knack as much as it is a skill. I think she's just good around the goal. She's strong, can hold players off and she's got a great shot. She works hard." She works just as hard off he field. A National Merit Scholar Finalist, Kerns ranked among the top .06 percent of students who took the high school test. "That's really, really impressive," Burleigh said. "We talk all the time about balancing academics and athletics, and she's really a role model for that."

24, ALLIGATOR E FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2005 VOLLEYBALL MCCray springs Pack minto action By DAN TREAT Alligator writer dtreat@alligator.org Amber McCray has always been one for a challenge. As the Texas Girls Coaches Association Athlete of the Year in 2002, McCray could have stayed home and played at Texas or gone west to play at national power University of Southern California. Instead, McCray chose to come to Gainesville, where in addition to joining a team that was on a decadeplus conference championship win streak, she stepped squarely into the shadow of her sister, Nicole, an AllAmerican at UF in 2002. After seeing a small amount of playing time her freshman year, McCray was expected to be a major force as a right side hitter for the Gators in 2004 before the unthinkable occurred. In spring practice, she went down with a severe knee injury ending her sophomore year before it even began. Now, more than a year later, McCray is ready to step back on the court with the same vigor that she had prior to her injury. "I don't feel like my expectations ever changed once I got hurt," McCray said. "Because I knew that with such a great staff and great trainer and great strength and conditioning coach and everything, I would be able to come back and accomplish the same things I had planned on before." McCray's injury put UF coach. Mary Wise in a bind last season. The Gators were left without an experienced right side hitter, whose left-handed attack is exceptionally hard to defend. "I think we once said a year ago we're not sure how long it's going to be before we realize in how many ways did Amber's absence affect us," Wise said. "Today I can tell you, we are so much further ahead in training camp because we're not trying to find a right side. We spent so much of last year's preseason just filling that gap, and now we don't have to do that." While McCray continued her rehab, she chose to still dress with her teammates and spent games charting plays on the bench, which Wise felt was important to make her still feel like part of the team. "Well you do know these are females, we don't even go to the bathroom by ourselves," Wise said. "So keeping women in a group is important to us." As a result of her strenuous rehab, McCray has strengthened her knee to the point where her jump -reach is higher now then it was two yearsago when she was an McCray incoming freshman. The difference and the impact of her return has not been lost on her teammates. "Oh, wow, Amber's return is huge for us," senior Jane Collymore said. "She was a highly-touted recruit and she's a great right side with a really quick left arm, which is something rare, and her being healthy for us is a huge plus." McCray's return allows Kisya Killingsworth to return to her natural position in the middle and gives UF a hitting option opposite Collymore and Marcie Hampton. Standing sweat-covered in the middle of the Stephen C. O'Connell Center court after a four-kill effort in the Orange and Blue Scrimmage on Saturday, McCray knew she was back where she belonged. "It felt great," she said. "This was my first time playing on the O'Dome floor since 2003, so being in this atmosphere and with the Gator It's your future It' a tool of the past. It's competition, It's stress management. It's knowIedge. It's an art. It's a reproduction.

"We are not a slow walkaround outfit. We're a fast, uptempo team," Meyer said. "Get to the line, call the play and go. Get back, go again. "That's the way a practice is supposed to look, and to be honest with you, I haven't seen too many of those around here." BUTKUS BOUND?: Sophomore Brandon Siler made the cut as one of 65 linebackers selected to the Butkus Award Watch List, th; Downtown Athletic Club of Orlando announced Thursday. The Butkus Award is given annually to the nation's top linebacker. The list will shrink to 10 semifinalists on Oct. 20, and then to three finalists before the winner is named on Dec. 10. Siler, who earned Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year last season, will return to practice today after suffering a concussion on Monday. I THIS AND THAT: Meyer named cornerback Avery Atkins, safety Dorian Munroe, linebacker Jon Demps and running back Kestahln Moore to a select group of true freshmen who should play in the Sept. 3 opener against Wyoming.
